  1. Verse 1

    avinayam apanya viṣṇo damaya manaḥ śamaya viṣaya mṛgatṛṣṇām bhūtadayāṁ vistāraya tāraya saṁsāra sāgarataḥ

    avinayam apanya visno damaya manah samaya visaya mrgatrsnam bhutadayam vistaraya taraya samsara sagaratah

    अविनयम अपन्य विष्णो दमय मनः शमय विषय मृगतृष्णाम भूतदयां विस्तारय तारय संसार सागरतः

    O My All Pervading dear Lord Visnu! Please remove my haughtiness and destroy my pride. Kindly control my mind. Quench my insatiable thirst for mirage like illusory pleasures of the world. Spread compassion widely in my heart for all souls in Your creation. And please rescue my soul from the endless ocean of continuous birth and death.

  2. Verse 2

    divyadhunī makarande parimala pari bhoga saccidānande, śrīpati padāravinde bhava bhaya khedacchide vande

    divyadhuni makarande parimala pari bhoga saccidanande, sripati padaravinde bhava bhaya khedacchide vande

    दिव्यधुनी मकरन्दे परिमल परि भोग सच्चिदानन्दे, श्रीपति पदारविन्दे भव भय खेदच्छिदे वन्दे

    O My Lord Hari, the Beloved of Sri (Laksmi)! My sincere salutations to Your Holy Lotus Feet! Your feet are like the beautiful, tender, fragrant, nectar filled Lotus flowers! The nectar is in reality is Ganga Devi, which has its origin from Your Divine Feet. The fragrance of Your Transcendental feet is the full of truth, knowledge, and bliss. The bliss bestowed upon the souls by Your Lotus feet is the mitigation of the sorrows and fears of mundane world.

  3. Verse 3

    satyapi bhedāpaga me nātha! tavāham na māmakī na stvaṁ, sāmudrohi taraṅgaḥ kva ca na samudro na tāraṅgaḥ

    satyapi bhedapaga me natha! tavaham na mamaki na stvam, samudrohi tarangah kva ca na samudro na tarangah

    सत्यपि भेदापग मे नाथ! तवाहम न मामकी न स्त्वं, सामुद्रोहि तरङ्गः क्व च न समुद्रो न तारङ्गः

    O My Beloved Lord! It is very true that the waves belong to their origin, the ocean, though they seem to appear different from the ocean simultaneously. Qualitatively there is no difference between the ocean and the waves. But still there exists the difference. Since the origin, sustainer, and destroyer of the waves is the ocean, waves cannot exist without the ocean. Similarly, there is simultaneous oneness and difference between the spirit soul and Supersoul, Thus, I can say that there is no difference between us as I only exist in relation to You. Truly speaking, I belong to You and You are my origin, sustainer, and destroyer but never vice versa.

  4. Verse 4

    uddhṛta naga nagabhi danuja danuja kulāmitra mitra śaśidṛṣṭe, dṛṣṭe bhavati prabhavati na bhavati kiṁ bhava tiraskāraḥ?

    uddhrta naga nagabhi danuja danuja kulamitra mitra sasidrste, drste bhavati prabhavati na bhavati kim bhava tiraskarah?

    उद्धृत नग नगभि दनुज दनुज कुलामित्र मित्र शशिदृष्टे, दृष्टे भवति प्रभवति न भवति किं भव तिरस्कारः?

    O my dear Lord Krsna! You have lifted Govardhana Hill on Your little finger to save Your devotees! You have appeared as Lord Vamanadeva, the distant brother of Indra, the King of demigods, to rescue him. You have vanquished many demoniac and atheistic persons at different times! Your eyes are like the most powerful blazing Sun and the most pleasant and coolest Moon! With all these considerations in mind, there is no doubt that Your mere Graceful Glance itself is capable of dispelling all my worldly attachments! So, kindly look at me at least once with Your merciful eyes!

  5. Verse 5

    matsyādi bhir avatārairava tāravatā sadā vasudhāṁ, parameśvara paripālyo bhavatā bhava tāpabhīto 'ham

    matsyadi bhir avatarairava taravata sada vasudham, paramesvara paripalyo bhavata bhava tapabhito 'ham

    मत्स्यादि भिर अवतारैरव तारवता सदा वसुधां, परमेश्वर परिपाल्यो भवता भव तापभीतो ऽहम

    O Supreme Lord of the Universe! You have always assumed many different Divine Forms like the Lord Matysadeva (the fish incarnation), Lord Kurmadeva (the tortoise incarnation), Lord Nrsimhadeva, and Lord Varahadeva just to save the Mother Earth from many calamities. Now, You can easily rescue me also from the material existence. Please My Lord, save me, as I am extremely fearful and anxious!

  6. Verse 6

    dāmodara guṇamandira! sundara vadanāravinda govinda! bhava jaladhi mathana mandara paramaṁ daram apanaya tvaṁ me

    damodara gunamandira! sundara vadanaravinda govinda! bhava jaladhi mathana mandara paramam daram apanaya tvam me

    दामोदर गुणमन्दिर! सुन्दर वदनारविन्द गोविन्द! भव जलधि मथन मन्दर परमं दरम अपनय त्वं मे

    O my dear Lord Damodara! O Temple of Divine Attributes! O Govinda, Transcendental joy of all the senses! O Beautiful Lotus-faced Lord! O Capable Destroyer of the Ocean of Birth and Death! O My Supreme Personality of Godhead! Please extinguish all my fears about this distressful mundane existence.

    narayana karunamaya! saranam karavani tavakau caranau, iti satpadi madiye vadana saroje sada vasatu
